The Democratic Republic of Discs is a very large, cultured nation, notable for its state-planned economy, smutty television, and irreverence towards religion. The compassionate, democratic population of 219 million Discsians love a good election, and the government gives them plenty of them. Universities tend to be full of students debating the merits of various civil and political rights, while businesses are tightly regulated and the wealthy viewed with suspicion.

The enormous, socially-minded government prioritizes Administration, with Education, Welfare, and Law & Order also on the agenda, while Spirituality is ignored. The average income tax rate is 68.9%, and even higher for the wealthy.

The strong Discsian economy, worth 12.4 trillion Rainbow Rocks a year, is driven entirely by a combination of government and state-owned industry, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is led by the Book Publishing industry, with major contributions from Information Technology, Uranium Mining, and Soda Sales. Average income is 56,536 Rainbow Rocks, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.0 times as much as the poorest.

Citizens can only enjoy the splendor of the natural world in designated 'Majesty Appreciation' zones, no personal detail is too tiny for the suede-denim census police, the slowest students feel vaguely targeted by their Mendelian Inheritance coursework, and wilderness-dwelling hermits are surprised to find railway stations on their front doorsteps. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Discs's national animal is the White Peacock, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Discs is ranked 46,695^th in the world and 20^th in Ridgefield for Highest Average Tax Rates, with 68.89 Effective Tax Rate.
